EASTERN CARIBBEAN CRUISES

What are the Eastern Caribbean Islands?

The Eastern Caribbean Islands consist of The U.S. Virgin Islands, The British Virgin Islands, St. Maarten, and Puerto Rico. Some of the cities you may visit during your travels are San Juan, Puerto Rico which was founded in 1521 and is the second oldest city in the Americas. Another stop is St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, which has one of the most beautiful harbours in the world. Philipsburg, St. Maarten has plentiful duty-free shopping and casinos. You may also visit Tortola, British Virgin Islands discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493.

Best Time to Cruise the Eastern Caribbean

The Eastern Caribbean Islands are great to visit all year round but peak season for an Eastern Caribbean Cruise is usually from December through April as travellers try to escape the winter months and find warmer weather. The weather in the Eastern Caribbean Islands are usually around the mid 70 F to high 90 F throughout the year. Always make sure to check ahead of time for island conditions and pack appropriately for your Caribbean cruise.
